The Chicago Hail Of The Issue of
l8ih nit. declares that letter from
MIR. Cleveland declining TO seek a re-
nomination Is in Che hands Of Editor
Dorsheimer of the New York Star.
The reason alleged for the President
writing such a letter, is that the lead
ors of the Demuoratie party arc nppos-
ed 10 him. The fact of the matter,
however, is that within the past two
orthree months the leading Democrats
of the country have been predicting
Cloveland's denomination aud election
and pledgiug their support to him,
This certainly does not look as if they
intend to oppose him, but, on the con
trary. it is clear that Mr. Cleveland is
more popular with his party now than
he has ever been, and the little story
about the letter rs to console the Re
pnblicans who realize how strong he
is with the people.-N. 0. States,

0ssineke.

Ossineke, village in Alpena county,
is distant from this city twelve miles.
1t was one of the first places settled
in Alpena county, and is pleasantly
situated on Thunder Bay. Back of it is
fine farming country, but not very
large tract Is under cultivation. 1t
has possessed lumber mill for many
years back. Notwithstanding its
many advantages, Ossineke has not
grown extensively. This was owing
principally, we believe, to the uncer-
tainty as to who owned the land and
mill property. The question has been
before the courts often. At last the
matter is definately settled and J. l..
Sanborn and sons are now owners of
the mill and most of the land COM
prising the village of Ossineke, and
can give. so we are informed, good
clear titles to land and village lots
they sell. The result is that the spir-
it of improvement that is hoyering
over Alpena county has put new life
into Ossineke and there is good prom
Use of a boom there that will, before
many years pass, wonderfully change
the appearance of the village and
modernize 1t. The first move was
made short time ago, when the
Messrs. Sanborn had the land at Os-
sineke surveyed and laid out in vii
lage lots. This survey includes many
acres on both sides of the river, and
extends from the Detroit, lay City
4 Alpena Railroad to the shores of
Thunder Bay. The lots, with few

No More Night Trains.

The last night train to leave this
city for Detroit, left here Wednesday
night last, and the last night train to
arrive came in Thursday morning,
The sleeping car train thus made only
ten round trips between Alpena and
Detroit. The patronage received was
not near enough to pay expenses, and
there was not much prospect, in our
opinion, of there being considerable
travel by the night train for the next
three months. The night train had
to contend with powerful opposition
from the steamers City Of Alpena and
City of Mackinac, two floating palac-
es that can make the journey from
Alpena to Detroit nearly as quick as
the night train did.
No change has been made in the
time of running of the day express
train, it leaving this city at TAO in
the morning and arriving at Detroit
in 8 hours and 30 minutes.
In place Of the night train, an ac-
train has been placed
on the route. 1t arrives here at 11:50
in the forenoon. and leaves at 1890
